      Yep as I said I would admit, I was impressed. I cannot stand Broner but that was his best performance to date, and over a top fighter. I think he is still just too strong for the weight class he is in, like I have said about Donaire. Broner will clean things out until he gets up to higher weights and then he will have challenges. Not taking any credit away from Broner either but what was DeMarco thinking with that strategy? Leaning down and just eating uppercuts all night? Guess it would not have made a difference either way but just wanted to mention it. Guys fighting Broner are seeing the same type of challenges guys who fought Floyd saw/see, that style of defense with the quick hooks, uppercuts and crosses...its hard to beat. As I said before, I don't think Broner is nearly as skilled as Floyd but def similar styles. Broner has a big muscular frame so I think he can get up to 147 at some point, which is where he will settle probably.

        The guys 23 he can take a couple of fights at 135, as long as he's not struggling to make weight he can become undisputed/face Gamboa and move up in 2014.

        Broners about 3 or 4 fights from fighting on PPV.

            I have known Broner has a ton of talent and is a very good fighter. I have been convinced of that, DeMarco is quality fighter but really Broner has the advantages and better abilities so even though it is a quality win and his best to date it really just proves what I already believed.

            Broner still has plenty left to prove.

              It's a good start. He got a long way to go though.

              Really his run at 135 is practice before he enters the gauntlet at 140.

                Khan doesn't have the chin for Broner.

                But I was thinking about Bradley too... Broner gets hit more than he should, even though he's an offensive beast. I see Bradley possibly stopping.

                      Yea, he made a believer in me. Gutsy slick kid. Good job.
